From Startup to IPO: The Female Executive’s Leadership Perspective
Program Description:
Mountains of data have shown that the presence of females on founding teams or in the C-Suite is correlated with increased financial performance. Why are these companies thriving? What is unique about women’s approach to business growth? What can we learn to further support the emerging female business leaders in our lives whether they be our co-workers, wives, sisters, daughters or ourselves?
Join us for a panel presentation featuring some of our region’s most accomplished female C-level executives representing high-growth startups to public companies. Learn about their unique journey, hard-earned wisdom, and vision for how to shepherd the next generation of fearless women executives and entrepreneurs.

Our Mission
To promote a unique process and atmosphere to develop and strengthen the entrepreneurial community in the Central Coast through interaction with experienced executives who have successfully navigated the challenges of building an organization.

Early stage businesses face many common challenges. In case presentations, the Forum provides local entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their business plans during an open meeting before a panel of specially chosen business experts and an audience of peers and other people interested in business development. This Forum format provides the presenting companies an opportunity to receive feedback and suggestions for their businesses from experienced professionals.
